Text Quotes
Our vision is to look through the eyes of our kids. We are a lucky, peaceful nation. We are an unselfish people. That’s one of our proudest national attributes  (Nation Quotes) The concept of national sovereignty has been an immutable, indeed sacred, principle of international relations. It is a principle which will yield only slowly and reluctantly to the new imperatives of global environmental cooperation. It is simply not feasible for sovereignty to be exercised unilaterally by individual nation states, however powerful. The global community must be assured of environmental security  (Nation Quotes) We’re the most violent nation on earth. There’s no getting away from that. But you’ve got to look at it on a broader level  (Nation Quotes) A defeated nation is always explaining itself. That’s why the best storytellers are always from vanquished nations  (Nation Quotes) The nation that will insist upon drawing a broad line of demarcation between the fighting man and the thinking man is liable to find its fighting done by fools and its thinking by cowards  (Nation Quotes) As a nation, this is the moment to start seriously investing our time, energy and resources into proven methods of reducing violence, both within our nation as well as internationally. The cost of violence to our culture and our children is simply not sustainable  (Nation Quotes) Government should be good for the liberty of the governed, and that is when it governs to the least possible degree. It should be good for the wealth of the nation, and that is when it acts as little as possible upon the labor that produces it and when it consumes as little as possible. It should be good for the public security, and that is when it protects as much as possible, provided that the protection does not cost more than it brings in... It is in losing their powers of action that governments improve. Each time that the governed gain space there is progress  (Nation Quotes) Our nation is well equipped to make the transition. We have an abundance of natural resources like wind, natural gas, solar and geothermal  (Nation Quotes) Can you think of anything that can get better if we crowd more people into our cities, our towns, into our state our nation or on this earth?  (Nation Quotes) Our nation is like a tree of which the original trunk is swarajya and the branches are swadeshi and boycott  (Nation Quotes) Rivers run through our history and folklore, and link us as a people... We are a nation rich in rivers  (Nation Quotes) It took thrift and savings, together with tremendous character and vision, to make our nation what it is today. And it will take thrift and savings, together with constant ingenuity and stamina, to conserve our remaining resources to enable us to continue to be a great nation  (Nation Quotes) No nation was ever so virtuous as each believes itself, and none was ever so wicked as each believes the other  (Nation Quotes) A nation as such does not give aid to another nation. More precisely, the common citizens of our country, through their taxes, give to the privileged elites of another country. As someone once said: foreign aid is when the poor people of a rich country give money to the rich people of a poor country  (Nation Quotes) The majority of men cannot be made disinterested for life by exhortation, by religious services, by any expenditure of subsidized works, or even by grave and manifest public need. They can be made permanently unselfish only by being helped to become disinterested in their individual purposes. In the complete democracy a man must in some way be made to serve the nation in the very act of contributing to his own individual fulfillment. Not until his personal action is dictated by disinterested motives can there be any such harmony between private and public interests  (Nation Quotes) The determination of the average man is not merely a matter of speculative curiosity; it may be of the most important service to the science of man and the social system. It ought necessarily to precede every other inquiry into social physics, since it is, as it were, the basis. The average man, indeed, is in a nation what the centre of gravity is in a body; it is by having that central point in view that we arrive at the apprehension of all the phenomena of equilibrium and motion  (Nation Quotes) A nation is bound not only by the real past, but the stories it tells itself: by what it remembers, and what it forgets  (Nation Quotes) Posterity has never made the grave’s embrace less cruel. It simply assuages our fear of death, because there is no better cure for out inevitable morality then the illusion of a beautiful eternity. But there is one illusion I still hold dear: that is the thought of an enlightened nation. That is the only future I still dream of  (Nation Quotes) Wherever you go and whatever ends you pursue, you must always fulfill the trust reposed in you by your nation, your parents and your alma mater  (Nation Quotes) If we trace the history of any nation backwards into the past, we come at last to a period of myths and traditions which eventually fade away into impenetrable darkness  (Nation Quotes) It is not enough to limit your love to your own nation, to your own group. You must respond with love even to those outside of it... This concept enables people to live together not as nations, but as the human race  (Nation Quotes) You can’t know who you are, as a nation or a people, unless you know where you’ve been  (Nation Quotes) We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation  (Nation Quotes) When women’s true history shall have been written, her part in the upbuilding of this nation will astound the world  (Nation Quotes) Dining is the privilege of civilization... The nation which knows how to dine has learnt the leading lesson of progress  (Nation Quotes) Every once in a while, a great nation has to deal with a great issue. Millions of people understand that it’s not bigotry to believe that marriage is between a man and a woman  (Nation Quotes) Watersheds come in families; nested levels of intimacy... As you work upstream toward home, you’re more closely related. The big river is like your nation, a little out of hand. The lake is your cousin. The creek is your sister. The pond is her child. And, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, you’re married to your sink  (Nation Quotes) No person among us desires any other reward for performing a brave and worthy action, but the consciousness of having served his nation  (Nation Quotes) We are a country that prides itself on power and wealth, yet there are millions of children who go hungry every day. It is our responsibility, not only as a nation, but also as individuals, to get involved. So, next time you pass someone on the street who is in need, remember how lucky you are, and don’t turn away  (Nation Quotes) Unlike any other nation, here the people rule, and their will is the supreme law. It is sometimes sneeringly said by those who do not like free government, that here we count heads. True, heads are counted, but brains also  (Nation Quotes)
